the concept is hardly new

as acknowledged in the original post. it's not only not a new concept but it's been done before. the outcomes were disastrous. which was also mentioned in the original post.

libertarians also like laissez faire economic policies, which landed us in the great depression. in general, i can't hang politically with libertarians, not because i'm opposed to civil liberties, but because libertarians fail to acknowledge, or are myopic with respect to, the social aspects of a democracy. as soon as individual decisions start to affect other people you've entered the social realm which requires some give and take. like it or not, a democratic government is the best place to mediate that give and take and make decisions that affect lots of people, not just one person.
